We ate. We drank. We danced. We enjoyed some FANTASTIC karaoke performances. And we raised money for a good cause - our PS 107 community!
If you enjoyed annnnnyy of the above, please thank the four women pictured above - Alyse Dosik, Biba Milioto, Lisa Esterhuizen, and Audrey Stipanovich - all of who began putting in hours of work in October and didn't stop until 2AM Friday night. The Auction is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the PS 107 PTA, and therefore requires the most amount of work. They did it all - from soliciting donations, negotiating contracts, coordinating with a vast array of partners, organizing and providing entertainment - the list goes on and on. Please be sure to show them some love and gratitude when you see them next.
